Cavity Wall Insulation
An un-insulated home can lose around a third of its heat through the walls. Homeowners can make significant savings on energy bills by insulating the cavity between the walls - so much so, you will payback your investment in around 2 years. An added bonus is that you save around 1 tonne per year of CO2 emissions.
Houses built between 1930 and 1985 are likely to have a cavity are the easiest way to spot if your house has a cavity is to look at the brick work on the outside of your house.
Cavity wall insulation is injected into the cavity between the inner and outer leaves of brickwork that make up the external wall of the property. Whilst there are a variety of different materials used for providing cavity wall insulation they all work in the same way; by combining with the still captive air to act as a barrier to heat loss. Cavity wall insulation helps to reduce the amount of gas, oil, coal or electricity used to heat your house and once installed should last the lifetime of your house.
Installation of cavity wall insulation is simple and will take less than a day to complete. To ensure a total fill of the cavity, the insulation material is blown under pressure through a predetermined pattern of drilled holes that are filled afterwards with mortar, colour matched to your external walls. It works by storing the heat in the inner wall and radiating it back into the home.
We use InstaFibre the best metarial to provide Cavity Wall Insulation. Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation include reduction of heating costs, elimination of condensation on walls.
Without InstaFibre installed, heat is lost through the empty cavity in your external walls. With InstaFibre installed, heat is radiated back into your home.
More heat is lost through the walls of our homes than in any other way. A staggering 35% of our domestic heat is wasted across un-insulated cavity walls, which means that we are consuming energy far in excess of our needs.
New Building Regulations introduced by the Government require an increase in the amount of insulation fitted in all new homes to make heating more efficient, more economical to run and to help conserve the world's natural resources. Soon we will all be expected to save energy by insulating our homes to a required standard.
InstaFibre is a blown mineral wool, which, once installed in the cavity wall, forms an insulation barrier, which retains the heat inside your home. It works by storing the heat in the inner wall and radiating it back into the home - with the effect that you can turn down your heating without losing out on comfort. It also maintains a constant temperature throughout the home. One of the benefits of this is to eliminate condensation. Draughts are also reduced as InstaFibre seals off the gap around badly fitting door and window frames. InstaFibre makes your home warmer and cheaper to run by cutting the cost of your heating. To ensure a total fill of the cavity, the material is blown through a predetermined drilling pattern of small holes that are made good with matching mortar after installation.
